[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/172,238 which was converted from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/358,035 filed Jul. 21, 1999, pursuant to a petition filed under 37 C.F.R. 1.53(c)(2) on Oct. 5, 1999.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This invention relates to a series of tetrahydro- and dihydroquinoline, tetrahydronaphthalene and tetrahydro-5H-benzocycloheptene bicyclic compounds of Formulae (I) and (II) and non-toxic salts thereof, which selectively antagonize the α_(v)β₃ integrin while minimally inhibiting platelet aggregation mediated by α_(IIb)β₃ integrin and are useful as bone antiresorptive agents.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention relates to fused bicyclic derivatives which exhibit activity as bone antiresorptive agents by inhibition of the osteoclast vitronectin receptor(α_(v)β₃). The integrin α_(v)β₃ has been shown to mediate the invasion of cancerous melanoma cells into healthy tissue (Seftor et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci, USA, 1992, 89, 1557-1561) and to protect these cells against natural cell death cycle (apoptosis) (Montgomery et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1994, 91, 8856-8860). Vitronectin receptor (α_(v)β₃) antagonists have been shown to inhibit the growth of various solid tumors of human origin (Brooks et al., Cell, 1994, 79, 1157-1164). More recently, α_(v)β₃ has been shown to be involved in liver metastasis (Yun et al., Cancer Res., 1996, 56, 3103-3111). Although angiogenesis is an important and natural process in growth and wound healing, it is now appreciated that a variety of clinically relevent conditions are pathologically related to these processes, and that the integrin α_(v)β₃ is involved. For example, α_(v)β₃ was shown to be expressed on human wound tissue but not on normal skin (Brooks, et al., Science, 1994, 264, 569-571) and is preferentially expressed on angiogenic blood vessels, such as those feeding a growing/invading tumor. It has also been shown that antagonists of α_(v)β₃ promote tumor regression by inducing apoptosis of the tumor cells (Brooks et al., Cell, 1994, 79, 1157-1164). The process of neovascularization (new blood vessel growth, angiogenesis), which is critical for tumor growth and metastasis, is also an important event in occular tissue, leading to diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and blindness (Adamis et al., Am. J. Ophthal., 118, 445-450(1994); Hammes et al., Nature Med., 1996, 2,529-533; Friedlander, et al., Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 1996, 93, 9764-9769) and in joints, promoting rheumatoid arthritis (Peacock et al., J. Exp. Med., 1992, 175, 1135-1138). α_(v)β₃ has been shown to play a pivotal role in the proliferation and migration of smooth muscle and vascular endothetial cells, a pathological process leading to restenosis after balloon angioplasty (Choi et al., J. Vasc. Surgery, 1994, 19, 125-134; Matsuno et al., Circulation, 1994, 90, 2203-2206). At least one type of virus (adenovirus) has been shown to utilizeo α_(v)β₃ for entering host cells (White et al., Current Biology, 1993, 596-599).

[0004] Various bone diseases involve bone resorption, the dissolution of bone matter, which is mediated by only one known class of cells, the osteoclasts. When activated for resorption, these motile cells initially bind to bone, a process well known to be mediated by αhd vβ₃ (Davies et al., J. Cell. Biol., 1989 109, 1817-1826; Helfrich et al., J Bone Mineral Res., 1992, 7, 335-343). It is also well known that blockade of α_(v)β₃ with antibodies or peptides containing the sequence arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) blocks osteoclast cell adhesion and bone resorption in vitro (Horton et al., Exp. Cell Res. 1991, 195, 368-375) and that echistatin, an RGD containing protein, inhibits bone resorption in vivo (Fisher et al., Endocrinology, 1993, 132, 1411-1413). More recently, an RGD peptidomimetic has likewise been shown to inhibit osteoclasts in vitro and, by iv administration prevents osteoporosis in vivo (Engleman et al., J. Clin. Invest., 1997, 99, 2284-2292).

[0005] A series of bicyclic compounds having a nucleus formed of two fused six-membered rings which include isoquinoline, isoquinolone, tetrahydronaphthalene, dihydronaphthalene or tetralone substituted with both basic and acidic functionality and which are useful in inhibition of platelet aggregation are disclosed in EP 0635492, WO96/22288, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,618,843 and 5,731,324 and are described by Formula I

[0006] The current major bone diseases of public concern are osteoporosis, hypercalcemia of malignancy, osteopenia due to bone metastases, periodontal disease, hyperparathyroidism, periarticular erosions in rheumatoid arthritis, Paget's disease, immobilization-induced osteopenia and the result of glucocorticoid treatment.

[0007] All these conditions are characterized by bone loss, resulting from an imbalance between bone resorption (breakdown) and bone formation, which continues throughout life at the rate of about 14% per year on the average. However, the rate of bone turnover differs from site to site, for example, it is higher in the trabecular bone of the vertebrae and the alveolar bone in the jaws than in the cortices of the long bones. The potential for bone loss is directly related to turnover and can amount to over 5% per year in vertebrae immediately following menopause, a condition which leads to increased fracture risk.

[0008] There are currently 20 million people with detectable fractures of the vertebrae due to osteoporosis in the United States. In addition, there are 250,000 hip fractures per year attributed to osteoporosis. This clinical situation is associated with a 12% mortality rate within the first two years, while 30% of the patients require nursing home care after the fracture.

[0009] The minimal inhibition of platelet aggregation mediated by α_(IIb)β₃ integrin while selectively antagonizing the α_(v)β₃ integrin and thus being available as bone antiresorptive agents is an important benefit of compounds of the invention and is important in mammals, especially man.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0343] The compounds of the present invention may be prepared according to the following reaction schemes.

[0344] In Scheme I, bicyclic ketone 1 where Y is —O—, A-B is the diradical —CH₂—(CH₂)_(m)—, and m is 1 or 2 is reacted with tri(C₁-C₆)alkyl phosphonoacetate 2 where v and R² are hereinbefore defined in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide to give olefin 3. Tri(C₁-C₆)alkyl phosphonoacetate 2 may be prepared using the conditions as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,312,828 and 5,473,092. Bicyclic ketone 1 where m is 1 can be prepared from dimethoxynaphthalene as described by S. Copinga et al., J. Med. Chem., 36, 2891-2898 (1993) or as described by A. Cordi et al, J.Med.Chem., 38, 4056-4069(1995) and where m is 1 or 2 as described in G. Pandey et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1993, 34, 6631-6634. Catalytic hydrogenation of olefin 3 in the presence of palladium-on-carbon affords ester 4. Treating ester 4 with boron tribromide in methylene chloride at 0° C. gives phenol 5 where Y is —O—, A-B is the diradical —CH₂—(CH₂)_(m), and v, m and R² are hereinbefore defined. Alkylation of ester 4 where v is 0 or 1 with R²X where R² is hereinbefore defined provided R² is not H, in the presence of a base such as sodium methoxide and where X is a leaving group which includes but is not limited to —Cl, —Br, —I and methanesulfonyl gives ester 6. Treating ester 6 with boron tribromide in methylene chloride at 0° C. gives phenol 7 where Y is —O—, R² is hereinbefore defined excluding hydrogen, A-B is the diradical —CH₂—(CH₂)_(m)—, and v and m are hereinbefore defined.

[0345] As described in Scheme II, nitrobenzaldehyde 8 where R is straight chain alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms is reacted with diester 9, in acetic acid where v and R² are hereinbefore defined and W is a moiety

[0346] to give the corresponding diester 10 where R, R² and v are hereinbefore defined. Diester 9 where v is an integer of 0, R² is H and W is

[0347] can be prepared in situ from a distraight chain lower alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms maleate and triphenyl phosphine in acetic acid, according to the modified method of Kadin, S. B. and Lamphere, C. H., J. Org. Chem., 49, 4999 (1984), and in the case where v is an integer of 1 from ethyl α-bromo-glutanate (E. Schwenk and D. Papa, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 70 3626-3627 (1948)). Diester 9 where v and R² are hereinbefore defined and W is

[0348] may be prepared using the conditions as described in P. G. Baraldi et al, J.Chem.Soc., Perkin Trans. I, 2501-2505(1984) and GB1423495. Reduction of the nitro and olefinic groups of diester 10 by catalytic hydrogenation (10% Pd/C) followed by spontaneous cyclization gives tetrahydroquinolinone 11 where R, R² and v are hereinbefore defined and the moiety A-B is the diradical

[0349] where R⁵ is H. Reduction of the nitro group of diester 10 using zinc in 12N HCl-ethyl alcohol followed by spontaneous cyclization gives substituted (1,2-dihydro-3-yl)alkanoate ester 12 where R, R² and v are hereinbefore defined and R⁵ is H. Alternatively, as also shown in Scheme II, substituted (1,2-dihydro-3-yl)alkanoate ester 12 where R is hereinbefore defined may be converted to phenol 13 by reaction with borontribromide followed by catalytic reduction in the presence of palladium-on-carbon to give phenol 14 where R² and v are hereinbefore defined and the moiety A-B is the diradical

[0350] where R⁵ is H. Catalytic reduction of substituted (1,2-dihydro-3-yl) alkanoate ester 12 where R, R² and v are hereinbefore defined and R⁵ is H in the presence of palladium-on-carbon affords substituted tetrahydroquinolinone 11 where R, R² and v are hereinbefore defined and R⁵ is H.

[0351] Again, referring to Scheme II, (1,2-dihydro-3-yl)alkanoate ester 12 where R⁵ is H is alkylated with R⁵ X where R⁵ is hereinbefore defined excluding hydrogen and X is a leaving group which includes but is not limited to —Cl, —Br, —I and methanesulfonyl in the presence of potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (KN(TMS)₂) to give ester 16. Treating ester 16 with boron tribromide can afford phenol 13.

[0352] Again referring to Scheme II, tetrahydroquinolinone 11 where R and R² are hereinbefore defined and R⁵ is H is alkylated with R⁵X where R⁵ is hereinbefore defined excluding hydrogen and X is a leaving group which includes but is not limited to —Cl, —Br, —I and methanesulfonyl in the presence of potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (KN(TMS)₂) to give ester 15. Treating ester 15 with boron tribromide can afford phenol 17.

[0353] Additionally, a method of preparing substituted (1,2-dihydro-3-yl)alkanoate ester 12 is shown in Scheme III using the method as described by O. Meth-Cohn et al, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin I, 1537-1543 (1981). Methoxy substituted aniline 18 is reacted with acid chloride 19 where v and R² are hereinbefore defined to give amide 20. Acid chloride 19 is prepared from the corresponding half acid-ester by reaction with thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride. Further reaction of amide 20 where v and R² are hereinbefore defined with phosphorous oxychloride in N,N-dimethylformamide affords 2-chloro-substituted quinoline 21. Hydrolysis of 2-chloro-substituted quinoline 21 with aqueous HCl in methanol affords substituted (1,2-dihydro-3-yl)alkanoate ester 12 (R is CH₃), where v and R² are hereinbefore defined.

[0354] As described in Scheme IV, aldehyde 22 is reacted with tri(C₁-C₆)alkyl phosphonoacetate 2 where v is 0 and R² is H in the presence of sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran to give ester 23 which is hydrolyzed with 12N HCl to afford (1,2-dihydro-3-yl)alkanoate ester 24. Reduction of (1,2-dihydro-3-yl)alkanoate ester 24 with hydrogen in the presence of 10% Pd/C in acetic acid affords tetrahydroquinolinone 25 which is further reacted with BBr₃ in methylene chloride to give phenol 14a where V is 1, R² is H and R⁵ is H.

[0387] Reagents

[0388] Plasma Membrane Isolation: 15 confluent T₁₅₀ flasks of 512P5 cells (α_(V)β₃—overexpressing cell line) were washed 2× with Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (D-PBS) without calcium or magnesium, pH 7.1. Cells were harvested with 10 mL of trypsin/EDTA and collected by centrifugation. The cell pellet was washed 2× with 0.5 mg/mL of soybean trypsin inhibitor, and resuspended at 10% weight/volume in homogenization buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, pH=7.4; 250 mM sucrose). The cell suspension was homogenized with 2×30 seconds bursts of a Polytron homogenizer. The homogenate was centrifuged at 3000 g for 10 minutes at 4° C. The supernatant was collected, measured, and made 100 mM in NaCl and 0.2 mM in MgSO₄. The supernatant was centrifuged at 22,000 g for 20 minutes at 4° C., the pellet was resuspended in 7 mL of membrane buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, pH=7.4; 100 mM NaCl; 2 mM MgCl₂) by 5 strokes of a Dounce homogenizer (tight pestle) and recentrifuged at 22,000 g for 20 minutes at 4° C. The pellet was resuspended in 0.5 mL/flask of membrane buffer (stock membranes) and frozen at −80° C. Prior to use, stock membranes were Dounce homogenized and diluted 2 μL to 1000 μL in membrane buffer.

Next, 25 μL of labeled ligand was added to each well. 25 μL of unlabeled ligand was added to non-specific binding wells (NSB). 25 μL of assay buffer was added to all other wells. 2 μL of compound was added to appropriate sample wells, and 2 μL of DMSO was added to NSB and total binding (TB) wells. Finally, 25 μL of membrane was added to each well.

[0394] The plates were covered and incubated at 37° C. for 2 hours in a humidified incubator. Wells were aspirated on a Millipore vacuum manifold, and the wells were washed with 150 μL isotonic saline solution. Wells were again aspirated. The plates were then dried for 1 hour in an 80° C. vacuum drying oven. Plates were placed on a Millipore filter punch apparatus, and filters are placed in 12×75 mm polypropylene culture tubes. The samples were counted on a Packard gamma counter.

[0404] Measuring the effect of compounds on the RGD-dependent attachment of cells to osteopontin mediated by the α_(V)β₃ integrin.

[0405] Reagents

[0406] Cell Suspension Media: The cells were suspended for assay in the tissue culture media used for normal culture maintenance buffered with 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.4) without serum supplementation.

[0408] Plate Preparation

[0409] Human recombinant osteopontin (prepared as described in Stubbs, J. III, Connective Tissue Research, (1996) 35, (1-4), 393-399) was diluted to an appropriate concentration in Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (D-PBS) without calcium or magnesium, pH 7.1. 100 μL of this solution was incubated in the wells of PRO-BIND assay plates (Falcon 3915) for 2 hours at 37° C. Following incubation the wells were aspirated and washed once with D-PBS; plates can either be used immediately or stored for up to 1 week at 4° C. Prior to assay, the wells were blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in cell suspension media for 1 hour at 37° C. Following the blocking period, wells were aspirated and washed once with D-PBS.

[0410] Cell Suspension

[0411] α_(V)β₃-expressing cell lines are maintained by standard tissue culture techniques. For assay, the cell monolayer was washed three times with D-PBS, and the cells were harvested with 0.05% trypsin/0.53 mM EDTA (GIBCO). The cells were pelleted by low-speed centrifugation and washed three times with 0.5 mg/mL trypsin inhibitor in D-PBS (Sigma). The final cell pellet was resuspended in cell suspension media at a concentration of 10⁶ cells/mL.

[0412] Attachment Assay

[0413] Incubation: 100 μL of diluted test compound was added to osteopontin-coated wells (in triplicate) followed by 100 μL of cell suspension; background cell attachment was determined in uncoated wells. The plate was incubated at 25° C. in a humidified air atmosphere for 1.5 hours. Following the incubation period, the wells were gently aspirated and washed once with D-PBS.

[0414] Cell Number Detection: The number of cells attached was determined by an MTT dye conversion assay (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, MTT dye was diluted in cell suspension media (15:85) and 100 μL was added to each well. The assay plates were incubated for 4 hours at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO₂/95% air atmosphere, followed by the addition of 100 μL stopping/solubilization solution. The assay plates were covered and incubated at 37° C. in a humidified air atmosphere overnight. After the solubilization period, the optical density of the wells was measured at a test wavelength of 570 nM with a reference measurement taken simultaneously at 630 nM.

[0415] Analysis of Results:

[0416] The individual well optical density was expressed as a percentage of the maximal attachment (% Max) wells minus background attachment, and reported as the mean ±standard deviation.

[0423] Osteoclast Bone Pitting

[0424] The test procedure was conducted as described by R. J. Murrills and D. W. Dempster, Bone, 11, 333-344(1990). Briefly, 4×4×0.2 mm slices of devitalized bovine cortical bone were numbered, placed in the wells of 96-well culture plates and wetted with 100 ul of Medium 199 containing Hanks salts, 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.0 (Medium 199/Hanks). Bone cell suspensions containing osteoclasts were prepared by mincing the long bones of neonatal rats (Sprague-Dawley, 4-6 days old) in Medium 199/Hanks. 100 uL of the suspension were then plated onto each slice and incubated 30 minutes to allow osteoclasts to adhere. The slices were rinsed to remove non-adherent cells and incubated 24 h in Medium 199 containing Earle's salts, 10 mM HEPES and 0.7 g/L NaHCO3, which equilibrates at pH 6.9 in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. At this pH the adherent osteoclasts excavate an adequate number of resorption pits for assay purposes. Slices were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde and osteoclasts counted following tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. In experiments in which osteoclast numbers were significantly reduced in a particular treatment, a check is made for non-specific cytotoxicity by counting the number of contaminant fibroblast-like cells following toluidine staining. All cells were stripped from the slice by sonication on 0.25M NH4OH and the resorption pits formed by the osteoclasts during the experiment stained with toluidine blue. Resorption pits were quantified by manually counting.

[0425] Statistics

[0426] The experiments were conducted according to a block design with osteoclasts from each animal exposed to each treatment. Three replicate slices were used per treatment per animal, such that a total of 96 slices were examined for an experiment involving four animals and eight treatments (including control). Several parameters were recorded on a “per slice” basis: number of pits, number of osteoclasts, number of pits per osteoclast, number of fibroblast-like bone cells. SAS or JMP statistical software were used for statistical analysis. If analysis of variance reveals significant effects in the experiment, those treatments differing significantly from control were identified using Dunnett's test. IC50s were calculated using dose-response curves.

[0427] Reference Compound: Rat Calcitonin.

[0428] Clinical Relevance:

[0429] Osteoclasts are responsible for the bone loss that occurs at the onset of osteoporosis and anti-resorptive drugs directed against the osteoclast are a requirement for patients losing bone. Calcitonin and bisphosphonates, both used as anti-resorptives in the clinic, show significant osteoclast inhibitory activity in this test procedure.

[0431] Effects of Test Compounds on PTH-induced Hypercalcemia of Thyro-parathyroidectomized Male Rats.

[0432] Male thyro-parathyroidectomized (TPTX) rats (Charles River) were randomly assigned to groups of 7 rats/group. Following a baseline serum calcium determination an Alzet 1003D minipump (Alza Corporation, Palo Alto, Calif.) loaded with 0.3 mg/ml PTH (Bachem, Philadelphia, Pa.) was implanted subcutaneously in each rat. For evaluation of prophylactic effects of a test drug, another minipump with appropriate concentration of the test drug solution was implanted subcutaneously at a site away from PTH minipump or implanted as a pellet of the test compound away from the PTH minipump. Alternatively, test drugs were administered by oral gavage as a solution or uniform suspension in an appropriate medium depending on the physical properties of the test compound. A group of 7 unimplanted TPTX rats was set aside as a normal control group. Twenty hours after minipump implantation blood was collected from each rat to confirm the presence of hypercalcemia (judged by elevation of serum calcium levels, 2 SD>normal non-implanted level). At various intervals between 0.5 and 24 hours after dosing (usually one to three time points), blood was collected from each rat and the serum evaluated for total calcium. Serum calcium levels were measured using the Nova 7+7 calcium auto analyzer spectrophotometrically using the Sigma test kit (#587A). Test results were determined by the difference in serum calcium between vehicle and treatment group following PTH administration, using a oneway analysis of variance with Dunnett's test or other multiple comparison methods and are displayed in Tables III-V.

[0438] Measurement of the Effect of Compounds on ADP-Induced Platelet Aggregation

[0439] Measuring the effect of compounds on ADP-induced platelet aggregation mediated by a fibrinogen-α_(IIb)β₃ integrin interaction.

[0440] Test Procedure:

[0441] Human Platelets: Platelet-enriched plasma was obtained commercially from a donor pool. The plasma was tested prior to shipment and found to be negative for HIV, HCV and Hepatitis B. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was obtained by diluting plasma to an approximate final concentration of 3×10(6) platelets per mL in platelet poor plasma (PPP). PPP was the supernatant of a lowspeed centrifugation of plasma.

[0442] Adenosine diphosphate (ADP): ADP was obtained commercially and diluted to 1 mM (stock solution) in distilled, deionized water (ddH₂O).

[0443] Platelet Aggregation

[0444] Incubation: PRP and PPP were prewarmed in a water bath at 37° C. The sample compounds were dissolved in an appropriate vehicle (typically DMSO) and diluted in vehicle to 100× of the testing concentration. PRP plus sample compound in a final volume of 500 uL was added to a pre-warmed cuvette in a ChronoLog aggregometer. A control containing PRP and 5 uL of vehicle was treated similarly to the test cuvette; final vehicle concentration was 1%. The two cuvettes were incubated with stirring (1000 rpm) at 37° C. for 5 minutes. Five hundred microliters of PPP was used as a reference (100% aggregation).

[0445] Aggregation: To begin the test, ADP was added yielding a final concentration of 20 uM to both samples (plus and minus sample compound). Light transmittance was monitored continuously and compared to the reference cuvette. After five minutes, the test was terminated and the slope and maximal amplitude of the resulting aggregation plot was calculated by the aggregometer.

[0446] Analysis of Results

[0447] The percent of maximal aggregation is the ratio of the maximal aggregations of the sample cuvette to the control multiplied by 100 (% Max) and reported as the mean+−standard deviation. Dose-inhibition relationships were generated for dose (X-axis) vs. % Max (Y-axis) for active compounds using a non-linear regression computer program (PS-NONLIN) and IC₅₀ values with corresponding 95% confidence intervals were estimated from 50% of maximal aggregation.

[0448] Reference Compounds

[0449] Known Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic Acid (RGD)-containing peptides, and snake venoms were tested for their ability to inhibit ADP induced platelet aggregation; peptide structures are given by the standard single letter designation for amino acids. Results are shown in Table VI.

[0454] When the compounds are employed for the above utilities, they may be combined with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, for example, solvents, diluents and the like, and may be administered orally in such forms as tablets, capsules, dispersible powders, granules, or suspensions containing, for example, from about 0.05 to 5% of suspending agent, syrups containing, for example, from about 10 to 50% of sugar, and elixirs containing, for example, from about 20 to 50% ethanol, and the like, or parenterally in the form of sterile injectable solutions or suspensions containing from about 0.05 to 5% suspending agent in an isotonic medium. Such pharmaceutical preparations may contain, for example, from about 25 to about 90% of the active ingredient in combination with the carrier, more usually between about 5% and 60% by weight.

[0455] The effective dosage of active ingredient employed may vary depending on the particular compound employed, the mode of administration and the severity of the condition being treated. However, in general, satisfactory results are obtained when the compounds of the invention are administered at a daily dosage of from about 0.5 to about 500 mg/kg of animal body weight, preferably given in divided doses two to four times a day, or in a sustained release form. For most large mammals the total daily dosage is from about 1 to 100 mg, preferably from about 2 to 80 mg. Dosage forms suitable for internal use comprise from about 0.5 to 500 mg of the active compound in intimate admixture with a solid or liquid pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimal therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation.

[0456] These active compounds may be administered orally as well as by intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes. Solid carriers include starch, lactose, dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, sucrose and kaolin, while liquid carriers include sterile water, polyethylene glycols, non-ionic surfactants and edible oils such as corn, peanut and sesame oils, as are appropriate to the nature of the active ingredient and the particular form of administration desired. Adjuvants customarily employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions may be advantageously included, such as flavoring agents, coloring agents, preserving agents, and antioxidants, for example, vitamin E, ascorbic acid, BHT and BHA.

[0457] The preferred pharmaceutical compositions from the standpoint of ease of preparation and administration are solid compositions, particularly tablets and hard-filled or liquid-filled capsules. Oral administration of the compounds is preferred.

[0458] These active compounds may also be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds as a free base or pharmacologically acceptable salt can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid, polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

[0459] The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exits. It must be stable under conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oil.

[0460] The compounds of Formulae (I) and (II) of this invention are useful in treating conditions in mammals characterized by bone resorption of mineralized tissue such as in osteoporosis, hypercalcemia of malignancy, osteopenia due to bone metastases, periodontal disease, hyperparathyroidism, periarticular erosions in rheumatoid arthritis, Paget's disease, immobilization-induced osteopenia or glucocorticoid treatment.

[0461] In particular, compounds of Formulae (I) and (II) of this invention are therapeutically useful in the treatment and/or prevention of osteoporosis in mammals.

[0462] The compounds of this invention and their preparation can be understood further by the following examples, but should not constitute a limitation thereof.
